The real Annie Moore

In what will be a much read story, today's New York Times has the tale of the historical mix-up about the life story of Annie Moore, the first entrant at Ellis Island and believed to have died in Forth Worth, Texas. It turns out she was a Manhattan lifer. The partner statue to the one mentioned in the story is in Cobh, Queenstown as it was when she left it.
